Lowering Question?

I was thinking about picking up some 3 inch drop coils for the front and 5 for the back but I was wondering with my truck on the ground there is barely enough room to stick 2 fingers over the bump stop! Could this be from just worn out springs and struts? I am afraid if I put in 3 inch lower coils it will be riding on the bump stops. Also everything in the suspension seems as old as the truck! Also with a 5 inch drop in the rear do you need shock relocators? Thanks Sean!

P.S. 1977 C-10 SWB

probably saggy springs. Even my main leaf on my truck is almost flat from sagging, even with as many leafs as I have.
